Clover

Enjoyable throughout, nothing groundbreaking though I thought the dialogue was excellent with some really funny scenes. The plot was a little nonsensical and very "borrowed" (mash up of guy ritchie/tarrantino and several others) but the pace and the humour kept me watching.

The ONLY thing that drew my attention to this film was Chazz. The film is barely tolerable for background noise like AM talk radio. This had to be one of those favors someone called in or like a call out of the blue to help someone move because they helped you out, 30 years ago, and you have to keep your word. Chazz's anger in the movie is genuine - he's stuck in a piece of crap film he had to do because he's that guy that promised a favor to someone like I mention above. If you're a fan of Chazz you'll be sorry wasting your time on this one, if your a fan of Perlman - well you're just effed and probably like Eric Roberts too (why they didn't stick that ass-hat in here too is beyond me). The film is rubbish, camera work is student quality at best, writing pee-poor, score is flat, transitions don't transition, scenes are better unseen. I wanted to like the film - had hoped that maybe after a lifetime of crap work, Perlman might learn something from a class act like Palminteri, but that didn't happen. The best part about the film was when I quit watching it.

Many will turn this off quuite fast, but the fascination of fast shifting and surprising moves made me hang on till the end. its a quasi mafia, beavis and butthead caracters that leads the line, and loosers borrowing money to loose, from a loanshark who cant loose.

its frantic and at times extremely confusing, the violence are pretty raw and the shootouts are merely in the bulls eye.

what differs are some lame and mediocre dialouges , and you will have a ''studio''feeling here and there. that is a director and sound&film editors fault.but if you like jazz in the background then youre a pearl in an oyster

the story do have a twisted end i cannot tell what, just use your third eye instinct and view the backgrounds. that is why the grumpy old man recommends a try

Probably didn't have a huge Hollywood budget, but the characters kept me entertained all the same.

I love Ron Perlman, so I thought I'd give it a try. Not bad.
